It was a better system. Some people deserve to get silenced, even if that was sometimes me.

To be fair, if it brings popular opinions to the top, the forums do become more representative the WoW community (or at least the small subset of the community that also use the forums) but I do agree that having a unique/unpopular idea be silenced can be frustrating.
Needing help to ignore something is kind of bizarre.

Who needs friends?
I’ve been friendless since TBC.
lol completely wrong. Sometimes you just get tired of the other persons bs. Sometimes that person is me.

systematic repression of people is not needed. i was one of the people affected by this abuse. everytime i made i a thread on ANYTHING it would get buried. but i bet your just going to say i deserved it.

I don’t miss the downvoting stuff. It created a clique of a sorts. Just like YouTube, I’m glad it’s gone. I’m sure Blizz likes it too with all those promotional videos getting massive downvotes.
Let’s focus on the positive. I try to. I have enough negative in my life for 20 people.

“You only ignore people because you’re weak and can’t handle different opinions!!” Yea you’re totally right! I should be completely ok with personal attacks and vitriol against me because I have a different opinion.

Dang! That’s a long while.
I’m not sure if that works. I think it still has to be the same account as well.

I’ve usually found it’s the person making the attacks and throwing the vitriol who blocks people and verbally declares it. 
which means you are unable to debate in a conversation so you gave up

Yeah.
Yeah it is.
I’ve been watching NCIS on Netflix and Gibbs says this to McGee quite often. I find it an interesting line of thinking, maybe I’ll look into it some time but it puzzles me because I think the assumption is that what you’re saying is genuine.
When I speak (vocally) it is generally respectful and polite because that’s how I conduct myself but I don’t always mean what I say. “Good morning”, “Have a nice day”, “Take care”, none of that is heartfelt it’s just good decorum 
Oh, I’m just doing a bit. I don’t actually believe that; I just probably would never apologize to most anyone on this forum.

Good for you! I don’t feel like dealing with someone coming after me personally because I have a different opinion.
I just don’t want someone I’ve ignored to see MY posts.
I don’t need them commenting on my stuff if I’ve chosen to ignore them, because if someone responds to what they’ve said, now I need to go open and read what they’ve said, which I didn’t want to do because I was ignoring them.
I’d rather the ignore go both ways. I ignore you, you also can’t see MY posts.

Or you can be a grown up about it and ignore it yourself and move on? It says the thread creator after all.
